Project Data
The Naoroji Godrej Centre for Plant Research (NGCPR) has been conducting quality research and threat status assessments leading to the conservation of native and endemic plant diversity. The Centre is a house to diverse collection of herbarium specimens collected from various locations across India. These locations cover 12 states, 1 union territory and 1 island. The repository of digital herbarium database contains a total of 1994 herbarium specimens consisting of 277 genera belonging to 91 family from 34 order under 2 classes Liliopsida and Magnoliopsida described under phylum Tracheophyta and kingdom Plantae. These herbarium specimens are being preserved at the Research Centre facility located near Shirwal, District Satara, State Maharashtra, India.

| Funding | The Digital Herbarium project implemented by the Naoroji Godrej Centre for Plant Research was funded by the Pirojsha Godrej Foundation for a period of two years from 2020 to 2022. |
| Study Area Description | This digital database of herbarium specimens is collected from various locations across India. The geographic coverage includes 12 states (Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Tamilnadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal), one union territory (Puducherry) and one island (Andaman and Nicobar). The specimens are collected from diverse forests and grassland habitats. |

Sampling Methods
Plant specimens were collected from various locations in India. During the collection, information such as plant scientific name, place of collection, date, collectors name and collection number were recorded in the field record books. These specimens were then dried and mounted on herbarium sheet after which details were entered in the herbarium specimen sheets. A barcode with unique ID number was provided to each herbarium specimen. For the digitization process, the barcoded herbarium specimens were scanned using a camera and high resolution images were stored as digital herbarium.
| Study Extent | The NGCPR Digital Herbarium project was aimed at developing herbarium followed by digitization. Under this project plant specimens were collected from various locations in the natural habitats from the Western Ghats, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and other parts of India. A total of 1994 herbarium specimens were developed and digitized covering 12 states, one union territory and one island. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | The identification of plant specimens was conducted with the help of literature review of flora, illustrations, photographs, comparison with properly identified herbarium specimens, and consultation with taxonomists and herbarium experts. While preparing the herbarium care was taken to ensure that the plant specimens collected in the field included flowers, fruits and portions of the uninfected stem with leaves. |
